Chapter 248: Chapter 104: Sea Turtle Soup_1

About 20 minutes later, Luo Xinlin pressed the doorbell at Ke Yu’s house.

When Ke Yu opened the door in a hurry, Luo Xinlin slipped off her shoes with practiced ease, and handed the iced Americano she had brought over to Ke Yu.

"I added three packets of sugar to yours, but I wasn’t sure about your brother’s taste, so I just made his the same as yours."

"It’s no..." Ke Yu began, but suddenly she saw a shadow flash by, as Ke Jin swiftly took the coffee from Xinlin’s hands, saying, "No problem, anything Xinlin brings is sweet, even without sugar."

This comment earned Ke Yu a vigorous roll of her eyes: "Gross."

Xinlin stood still, smiling softly, and then asked, "So, Yu, what’s so urgent that you asked me to come over today?"

Normally, when the two girlfriends agreed to visit each other’s home, they would let each other know in advance, and it had always been like this for many years.

But today Ke Yu had simply said ’Come over to my place to hang out’ and left it at that.

While Xinlin did come over, she still felt something was off.

Upon hearing this, the siblings exchanged glances, both feeling a sudden sense of alarm.

The reason Ke Yu had called her over was naturally to dig into her secrets.

But of course, they couldn’t just come right out and say that.

The brother and sister had been so busy horsing around just now that they hadn’t thought of a suitable excuse.

"Uh... I... my brother said..." Ke Yu struggled to find the words, then suddenly perked up.

"He wants to involve you in discussing a new game!"

Ke Jin: "???"

However, when Xinlin’s surprised gaze turned to him,

Ke Jin could only nod along: "Oh yes, that’s right, we were thinking about what kind of game to create next."

"But I don’t really understand games..."

"It’s okay, it’s okay, we’re just having a discussion, tossing ideas around might just spark some inspiration," Ke Yu said as she moved behind Xinlin, pushing her gently to sit on the couch.

She then sprinted towards the door, under the guise of closing it, to whisper to Ke Jin.

"Bro, think of a way to segue from the game, and then get her to spill the beans."

"Aren’t we waiting for Miss Wen?"

"We can’t wait, she’s already here, can we just sit around doing nothing? Let’s start!"

"Okay."

With their encrypted conversation finished, they smoothly closed the door behind them.

Then all three of them took seats on the couch.

Luo Xinlin looked from brother to sister,

waiting patiently for them to begin.

"Hmm... it goes like this." Seeing that no one was starting the conversation, Ke Jin took the initiative, albeit reluctantly.

"The new game is, um... it’s about romance, and then... then..." Ke Jin was just making things up as he had no actual plans to create a romance game, so he quickly got stuck.

He coughed softly, signaling Ke Yu to take over.

The siblings were indeed in tune with each other.

Ke Yu clapped her hands excitedly: "Oh right! Romance! The main story backdrop is... it’s set in a university campus! And then..."

"Yes," Xinlin nodded thoughtfully, listening carefully.

Even if she didn’t understand games, she still wanted to help as much as she could when being consulted for game inspiration by the recently renowned designer from the top player’s design team.

"Then, the game’s protagonist is a beautiful female university student," Ke Jin said, looking at Xinlin’s puzzled expression. His thoughts suddenly cleared as he continued, "And recently she has developed a crush on a certain boy at school."

Ke Yu’s eyes gleamed, she gave Ke Jin a look that said ’well played, Mr. Ke!’ and immediately threw out a question: "Now we’ve reached the first difficulty in our game design! Listen carefully!"

"Yes, yes?" Xinlin nodded.

"Tell us, Xinlin, what is this boy’s name?"

Pfft!!

Ke Jin almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

Are you straight up going for a penalty kick even with 11 opposing players guarding the goal?

So you’re buying it, huh?

Time to seriously investigate Baby Yu!

Luo Xinlin was just as dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Then, bewildered, she asked, "Is the only thing missing from your new game the male lead’s name?"

Caught by that question, Ke Yu’s face fell in embarrassment.

Right, that wasn’t a real issue in game design... It even seemed a bit weird.

Ke Jin looked at his little sister with a mix of irritation and disappointment.

His eyes conveying the message.

’Good start, playing a pair with a four, eh?’

What could he do? It was his own clueless sister, after all.

Ke Jin smoothed things over, saying,

"Actually, there are many aspects of the game we haven’t finalized yet. We just want to decide on the male lead’s name first, so later on, when we shout, we don’t have to use ABCD as stand-ins. It’ll sound more official."

"Oh, so we’re just hypothesizing a name, right?" Luo Xinlin asked. Seeing both siblings nod, she thought for a moment and said, "Let’s call him Zhang San then."

"Zhang...?" Ke Yu was about to speak but was silenced by a look from Ke Jin.

The siblings continued their telepathic conversation.

’Beep beep! This is the iced Americano radio telegraph, the enemy won’t reveal their trap so soon, go with the flow, and keep probing deeper!’

’Cappuccino Decoding Group received!’

Before long, Ke Jin had his thoughts organized and asked, "Alright, we’ll go with Zhang San, now for the second difficulty in our game design. We need to add some sweet scenarios to the romance game to better attract players. If you were the female protagonist, what would you want to do with Zhang San?"

"To do something together? Um... watch a movie? Then have dinner, and then..." Luo Xinlin seemed at a loss for words.

Even if you ask me, I’ve never been in a relationship... I don’t know what to do.
